Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 1 year old. He just started experiencing a slight sore throat and noticed difficulty swallowing. He has also had a low-grade fever. I would like to ask: How should tonsillitis with sore throat be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery early. At the same time, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
